Once received, escrow company will record.What date does the new buyer start paying- HOA dues- Interest on the loan- Property Taxes- Property Insurance

Issues like....How is the income split.Who's name goes on the property.Who pays for taxes, insurance, maintenance.

Is the rent covering the taxes and insurance as well as the maintenance?

If you understand what the appraisers will be looking for you can significantly increase values by documenting the repairs made by your contractors.

Usually $2,800-$3,300, then you add the prepaid items such as insurance, taxes, etc..I can give you the names of two lenders that can do the loan.

There are of course (sneaky) ways to inspect the property without tenant being aware of the sale discussion (posing as insurance agent etc), however I do not want to run this business in a sneaky way, and even create a perception of being scam-y or sneaky with the customers... 

What are implications for maintenance, taxes, insurance?

An executive of a business authorized to sign such documents is often an employee, not necessarily an owner.If bankers won't let you sign like that, take your better attorney along and have him/her explain it to them.I have one who even trains IRS agents on the proper interpretation of the tax code (he, his partners and staff consistently win audits).

You have to get all the docs from the seller upfront because as time goes on they will get frustrated at the banks constant request for documentation and might give up on the whole thing.
